Knoxville

Knoxville's bar scene centers on Market Square and the Old City, two downtown districts that have anchored the University of Tennessee city's nightlife for decades - BarFinder lists 237 venues here, led by classic bars and sports bars, with a deep bench of breweries, pubs, and cocktail bars behind them. Real local spots like Clancy's Tavern & Whiskey House and Last Days Of Autumn Brewing reflect a scene that's grown well beyond its college-town roots into a genuine regional nightlife destination. From Market Square patios to Old City dive bars, Knoxville covers a lot of ground.
